House Bill 1871 amends the Water Code to authorize a ship channel security district or a county whose commissioners court has created a ship channel security district to enter into an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to provide for use of TxDOT's facilities or property to aid security in the district. The bill authorizes a county that has entered into an agreement with TxDOT for use of TxDOT's fiber optic network for transportation purposes to use the network to serve a project aiding security in a ship channel security district in the same manner as other transportation purposes unless the agreement precludes the use of the network for that purpose.
